Former Oak Ridge schools superintendent Bob Smallridge could come back on board as an interim superintendent of schools if a potential nominee has a scheduling issue.

The Board of Education currently has three candidates on its short list for the superintendent position and is setting up appointments for them to visit the city, sit for a second interview and have a “meet and greet” session with city leaders, officials and residents at the Oak Ridge Chamber of Commerce.

BOE Chair Keys Fillauer said earlier this week the BOE will meet on Jan. 7 and at that time could offer Smallridge the interim superintendent position.
